Question for Wingman and Others

Postby insman » Mon Nov 19, 2007 12:12 pm

First of all I know that Game Wardens have a tough job to do. My question is WHY would this guy come to our club at 6:15 am on opening day of gun season and start riding a 4 wheeler up and down the road then walk up to our hunters in their stands at 7:00 in the morning to see if you are wearing orange and have a license. Is this a standard practice? I can not for the life of me figure out why you would do this. We had one guy who had taken his son on his first deer hunt only to have it ruined at 7 am. This was also on private land. I am just looking for some clarification on this matter.

Gennerally a pile of beer cans, a dozen shots before 5:00 am and the 30-40 empty bags of corn should have given you a clue.

But, that's just why I would think they might have checked you. :lol: :lol:


Just given you some grief. Hope it didn't ruin your hunt.

We did not have any violations, and I did not get his name. It was a black guy in Warren county. We are and ATCO club so they are pretty strict about what they let us do anyway. We havn't had any problems since the last time Pondman came.

The only time I will go in on a deer hunter is when a known violation is occurring, i.e. hunting w/ aid of bait, trespassing, etc.

I would ask you not to post the officer's name on this forum. We don't need to start that mess.

Don't sound to bright to me. It would be a toss up between me taking a stroll down Medgar Evars after dark or walking through some woods with a bunch of itchy trigger finger rednecks.
